in the xorg.conf enables the user to both overclock and set the fan speed in nvidia-settings in 302.07 and probably earlier versions. 302.07 will even find the optimal overclock speed for you. Very nice. NVClock isn't needed anymore.

I am running 295.40 from nvidia.com

By default the fan run too fast and is noisy. So I set the speed (via nvclock for the moment) as necessary via cron. My only problem is to remove error log from the kernel because of some memory usage ( rsyslog do that automatically for me).

I was just wondering why nvclock can manage the fan without the help of xorg.conf and why nvida-settings not.

Honestly, that's a moot point. nvidia-config is the officially-sanctioned solution that will continue to be maintained and updated. NVClock was a third-party utility that's no longer maintained or updated as far as I can tell. I enjoyed it while it lasted, but it's gone. I'm grateful that nVidia stepped in with a solution. It is what it is.
